My comments on tutoring Latin : had Latin I and II in high school, all A's, still remember some of Caesar's "De Bello Gallico" in Latin (and English); won 2 first places in each of 2 Texas state Latin contests in high school, won 2 first places in National Latin contest in high school

My teaching style is based loosely on that of my major college math professer (and head of the department), which was originated at the University of Texas by his thesis advisor and another colleague. It is basically the Socratic method as applied to teaching mathematics, to try to draw the student out and get him or her to think on their own. I am for understanding, not regurgitating a bunch of facts, which anyone can mindlessly do. The object is to be able to think and analyze on your own.
I have over 30 years of experience in the oil industry, initially in quality control, but quickly promoted to programmer after writing some programs on my own time to help with the quality control. I have programmed professionally since 1979, using many different languages and operating systems, on many different kinds of hardward (mainframes, work stations, PC's, Macs). I have written a l ... read more

I believe all children have a story which is vital to learning before good teaching can occur. I have discovered that different children require different approaches to learning, and I enjoy uncovering what these are and integrating different styles within the classroom. I believe in cultivating a close a partnership with parents by keeping them updated on progress and assisting them in developing a plan for home support. Teaching requires passion, endurance, patience, and flexibility. Children must understand that you care and believe in their ability to succeed, and I strongly believe that I am such a teacher.
For the past 7 years I have been teaching in a private school setting. Although classroom sizes are small, I am required to teach multiple subjects. This year, I taught 3-7 grade Latin, 5th and 7th grade social studies, 5th grade grammar and writing, and 5th gra ... read more
